Pillows Galore!

 Kind of a dreary day....one of my favorite kinds...always puts me in

work mode....more like creative thearapy...

 Pillows...that's what was on the creative menu today.

 A fun trio...all different from one another....above: a modern approach

to what should be a wonderful juvenile addition to any nursery or playroom...great

for chap or lass...unisex if you will.

 ah...had a blast with this one...no creation can escape color on my watch...

it's hard for me to do mono-chromatic...I...Just...CAN't....lol

(oh ya, and p.s., I'm the worst spell checker if ya haven't noticed...pretty sure

that's not how you spell "mellon"...bwahaha)

 above and below: I had so much fun layering this pillow

with boho-chic tones of golds and yellows....

every once in awhile my "gypsy" shows...

All three of these pieces are now available for purchase in my ETSY

shop:

updates frequently.

More Lute for the Shop...American Blessings...

 An old Park Bench my hubs and I rehabbed with new slats and paint job...adorned with hand-made

rustic chic Americana Pillows....by yours truly.

 below: brought some new bags up to "The 'Empty Nest" as well...

 ...in fun true "Trash Bag" form....pant shoulder bag

in vintage wash and fun vintage fabrics and summer hues.

 Below: "Bloom & Grow Forever" dark stained and hand-painted

Block set...

 truly was a blast to create....and one of my personal favs...if it doesn't sell in the shop this month...I may have to go take it back! lol.

 above: another fun pant bag mini...in wonderful vibrant summer tone blooms and

a hand crafted gossy braided shoulder strap....just charming.

 Plain Jane.....a perfect summer shoulder Bag...saw the owner "eyeing" this one...

not sure if it's still up for grabs or not...lol

Always a pleasure taking lute up to "The Empty Nest" Oakdale...perhaps another location in the future as well...but for now, I couldn't ask for anything more...I always have a blast making and creating things....it's a passion of mine...a disease if you will..I will never grow tired of it...and  so, this has been my choice of path....the greatest blessing.

Summer Begins...

 May...June and July are always full of events, birthdays and such for this family...sometimes my "The Humble Bungalow" gets put on hold, but at the same time...I am forever and constantly being inspired by the wonders of beginning of Summer...

 above: fun wooden garden stakes..."organic" and "tomatoes"

 ABOVE: is a salvage find...a thick wooden butterfly cut out....revamped and given the "rustic chic" treatment in Mint.

 This guy above I handpainted...with charming ladybugs and whimsical vines and butterfly...

eventually it will become a large garden stake.

My father (who is amazing by the way...wish I had half his knowledge of "know how") picked up this piece for me....which was once a ragety, old, beat up..."side of the road" project...lol. I took on the challenge with a smile....sanded...stainted....painted and given a roughed up shabby chic treatment....added a couple of wooden roped boxes with same treatment...for extra charm and storage. 

For being so busy with all that summer brings...I'd say I'm not doing so bad....
